RE: Acrobat 4.0.5 on NT

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What makes you think very many will "guickly upgrade" to Win 2000? I hear
now that the official release date for Windows 2000 Professional won't be
until February '00, and the word I get is that few corporate users intend to
upgrade until they are assured it's not as buggy as the initial releases of
other Microsoft products. After all, previous versions of Windoze constitute
the only computer viruses you have to pay for.

upgrade to Win2000 in short order once it is officially released. I can
sympathize with the sense that developing for a flawed platform is futile
when the replacement is on the horizon.
